KOReader on Kobo + KOReader docker

[nuovodna]

Hi everyone,
I am using Koreader on Kobo Clara BW plus Koreader in a docker (https://github.com/zephyros-dav/docker-koreader) running on My Raspberry Pi 5 accessible from the Internet.
My goal is to read from the Kobo and from other browsers (from work or on iPhone) by synchronizing the progress of reading and the highlights.

I currently use a shared folder with Syncthing that runs on both Kobo and server. But when I open the book on Kobo I don't see the highlights but only the current position of the book (and viceversa when reading in the browser).

Seeing the Metadata.epub.lua file it seems to have the highlights from both sources but opening the book from the single koreader (kobo or browser) i can only see the highlights made on that koreader instance.
Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Emanuele

Hi, i figured out that highlight on kobo is written to lua file in this way:

...
    ["annotations"] = {
        [1] = {
            ["chapter"] = "Bassa Fedeltà",
            ["datetime"] = "2024-07-15 19:40:01",
            ["drawer"] = "lighten",
...

while the koreader running in docker writes:

...
    ["bookmarks"] = {
        [1] = {
            ["chapter"] = "Bassa Fedeltà",
            ["datetime"] = "2024-07-15 17:40:47",
            ["highlighted"] = true,
...

exporting highlights produces different output, every device exports and shows only highlights made on the specific device

The second piece of code is obsolete.

Yup, still obsolete.

You updated the device we currently support to a nightly that changed the behaviour and the 3rd party, unsupported, docker package wasn't updated to match the version used on your ereader.

Still not sure if that will automagically fix your issue but having both programs to share the same schema is mandatory to achieve that.

Solution...Dump the docker. It's not needed at all.

fixed with docker updated to latest KOReader 2024.07 "Outside"

At the end, after days of frustrations, I decided to avoid metadata book sync (i always crash into sync conflict or permission issue).
Configured only koreader server to sync the progress. For the highlights i will export them when i'll finish the book and then merge them.
